i'm searching for an WYSIWYG Editor tool which i can run as normal Windows Application and wihich generates for me the TWIKI "Code".
Is there any Application/Software that provides this functionality?
THX
not that I know of - though there have been some development wrt using WebDAV and saving from HTML - talk to Crawford Currie - the main developer of both those addons to twiki/foswiki

Windows has hta files. They are a bit like html files. They include html5 and javascript but they launch as desktop applications which are fully-trusted. (They use a file called mshta.exe found in the IE installed components in order to run.)
The great thing is you can port many web pages to desktop applications with just a few extra lines of code.
Info can be found here:

Do the latest releases of Linux (and possibly apple mac desktops) have an equivalent of hta files?
If you are aiming to deliver HTML content you can take a much more flexible road: use a GUI framework with HTML capabilities like QT.
here there is a simple example about how to use webkit ( a rendering engine for the web ) to embed a fully working web browser in your GUI, and QT works under many desktop and mobile platforms.
You can try to use node webkit for this purpose.
The link here says IE9 is "supported"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526(v=office.14).aspx
Now, does that mean standards mode or just IE8 mode?
Background:
We want to deploy IE9 to get canvas support whilst not breaking anything in Sharepoint. A quick google search brings up a number of issues such as drag/drop webparts in edit mode and people picker There are fixes, but they don't appear to be MS supported. I was wondering if anyone contacted their support directly to get an official stance from them.
From experience, I can say no. We have had significant issues when trying to use, in particular, calendar controls. They do not render correctly in IE9 Standards mode but render perfectly in IE8 Standards.
Microsoft being incompatible with Microsoft! How (predictably) strange.
I use a DOCTYPE (HTML5) for my masterpage (Sharepoint 2010) and I found that IE8, IE9 and IE10 in Standard Mode could have some bad behaviors with several features that don't work anymore like the Gantt View, or editing a form when there is a "multiple line of text" field, and other stuff.
I spent several days doing reverse engineering to find the issues from the JavaScript wrote by Microsoft.
I shared the results on my blog : http://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2013/03/20/sharepoint-2010-and-ie-in-standard-mode-issues-with-ie9ie10/ and http://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2012/11/08/webpart-doesnt-work-with-ie8-in-standard-mode-under-sharepoint-2010/
We use Sharepoint 2010 for only 1 month so I'm pretty sure I'll find some other features that don't work in the future....
I have to deal with scanner from WEB-page. I can use Active-X (TWAIN / WIA) and Silverlight (WIA) on Windows (may be Flash also?). What technologies may I use on Linux to access scanner from web-page?
Thank you in advance!
You can also develop NPAPI plugin that interact with scanner (TWAIN/WIA). That also support scripting and you can access to JavaScript methods, objects and DOM model in scope of your HTML page. For IE you can develop IE plugin like toolbar.
For example, there's an open source project called FireBreath which allows you to write a plugin for IE (ActiveX) and NPAPI (Firefox, Opera, Chrome etc.) from a single codebase.
You can use Java Applet. Have you seen JTwain: http://asprise.com/product/jtwain/faq.php. It's a commercial tool but might be of help to point you in the right direction
you can try SANE for scanning in Linux. It's open source: http://www.sane-project.org/ .
I looked into very many Google Chrome extensions and apps in order to find one that matches the following requirements:
runs in a Google Chrome tab
editor for any code, PHP, CSS, HTML
can load and save files (on my computer) and create new ones
works with local files on my computer
Is there any? kodingen, cloud9, shiftedit does not seem to make it on the localhost.
Maybe SourceKit will do?
SourceKit is an extension to your Google Chrome browser which runs in a separate tab. The files are stored in your Dropbox account, so not only can you access the files from your computer - you can access them from anywhere! It uses syntax highlighting like Notepad++ for a limited number of languages (you said php, css, and html - they are all supported). It can load, save, and edit text files locally on your computer if you install the Dropbox Desktop Application. This will also synchronize the files with your online account and thereby make them accessible from anywhere in the world.
That sounded more like a salesman's advertisement than intended.
Both Dropbox and SourceKit are free.
There are four catches as far as I can see:
Dropbox "only" offers 2GB for free, however, you can upgrade at any time if you're willing to pay.
Dropbox Desktop will only synchronize one folder (and all of its contents), but that's really not any different from a web site.
SourceKit will not debug your code, but will it highlight wrong syntax(only for certain languages).
EDIT Does not work offline.
I've tried it out, and it works well.
Sympathy Editor
Sympathy uses the npapi-file-io plugin mentioned in an answer above to allow you to edit local files.
Pros
Allows you to edit local files
Full syntax highlighting
Bookmark local files for easy access
Cons
Uses npapi plugin to read files, which means it has access to all your data
Unavailable on Chrome Webstore
Still under development
Only works on linux/windows as of the moment (not in mac)
If you are interested, you can see the README, or Manual on github.
Disclosure: I'm the primary developer of the extension.
Don't any of these extensions you have mentioned work with the file:/// protocol? They will work for the http:// protocol only if you are going to edit files inside your local webserver.
Instead of writing http://localhost/(...) you write file:///(...), where (...) is the full path.
In UNIX systems it is file:///home/jens/file.txt. In Windows it should be file:///C:\(...).
#Berk Demirkir may be right.
Here are the resources I found that may be of use;

There's no extension for editing local files.
But you can write one!
Acesses to local filesystem cannot be done using Chrome's Extension API.
But you can use HTML5's File API (which is draft) or Local Storage. If none of these storage methods sufficient for you, you can build a NPAPI Plugin. Chrome supports NPAPI Plugins. There's also a project called npapi-file-io in Google Code which aims to access local files from Google Chrome Extension context.
Edit:
Now, there's one usable editor, Symphaty. You can use Capt.Nemo's Symphaty editor.
Edit 2:
NPAPI plugins are phased out from Chrome since version 42. The only alternative would be to use a wrapper native app and communicate using Native Messaging API.
ShiftEdit can be used to work locally, you will need to have XAMPP or equivalent installed.
Is there a browser plugin or an extension that allows the user to view .doc files in browser?
I need to embed in my application, a document viewer. So far, I tried using services like google docs, but this solution doesn't work for our application, because of some security problems.
Do you know about the Office Web Apps? Microsoft developed something similar to Google Docs and you can use the Word Web Application to view Word files. It will pretty much display anything - a lot of editing functions from the offline version are not available though.
If you are just looking for a viewer search for "Word ActiveX Viewer" and you will find plenty (commercial) viewers.
To have IE open the .doc within the browser and not in a separate winword.exe, you need to define the association at client end.
As .doc file is an external resource to HTML, it would download the file into its temp, and then attempt to launch it. It would launch it using the default program that it is associated with.
To control this behavior, please have a look at:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sharing/opendocinie.html
I thought Internet Explorer + Microsoft Office used to do this by default?
I can for sure tell you that other than converting the doc to html you won't get a cross-browser, cross-platform solution.
Since you are saying it's for viewing only, that would seem like the way to go.
